Quote from: imurrx;316111I guess it will be down at mutt's house again for monday. I might be moving my store later this week and my wife wants me home Tuesday.

So, Meatlips and Lamb, make sure we get going early. Be at my house by 7:00 pm SHARP and I will drive down to Mutts house.

Okay.

Well, we were on the Ghost Lord's Lion Main Level. We were in a room, 15 ft by 20 ft, and over in the corner was a square pit. We were unsure of its depth, so we grabbed a torch, and dropped it into the pit. Reven decided to go down there and explore, so he tethered a rope from himself to his Dragonell, Sparky, though Horatio and Kratos weren't sure if that was a great idea. Well, Hrothgar cast Feather Fall on him, so that he could float harmlessly to the floor of the pit below...



In the flickering light of the dying torch, it was hard to see in the gloom, but there was a bit of a side chamber in the pit, and Reven approached it. The floor over there glistened, and then it moved...

Reven was suddenly attacked by a large gray ooze, which wrapped itself around him. It's quite fortunate that Hrothgar had cast Resist Energy on Reven earlier in the day, so that he was somewhat resistant to the monster's attack, but he still needed help, so Hrothgar cast Feather Fall upon himself, and leapt into the pit to help him out. The other guys tried to pelt the thing from a distance with arrows and crossbow bolts.

Reven discovered the ooze was unaffected by his fiery breath, and so instead tried to gib the thing with his sword, while Hrothgar finally incinerated it with a Lightning Bolt.

After the battle, we scoured the chamber, and found only a single rose-colored stone (Ioun Stone), and then were pulled back up by the rest of the guys.

After this, we went down a series of hallways. Details are kinda hazy for me at this point, but we eventually reached a room, 10 feet by 15 feet in size. I don't remember what was in there, but we discovered a secret door, and went to another room, 20 ft by 20 ft, in which a tree was growing. Yeah, strange.

Again, I don't remember what happened here, but whatever. We then went to another room, and were quickly attacked with a ghostly lion. It took a while, but we eventually defeated it. After this, we discovered another secret door, and entered another room, when we suddenly saw a gaunt, almost skeletal figure pass right through the friggin' wall. We found ourselves face-to-face with the Ghost Lord himself! :eek:



The metal door in which we entered immediately slammed shut behind us. Well, he had some kinda magical fear effect going on, and it compelled most of us to flee the room in panic, only we couldn't flee until Hrothgar cast Stone Shape on the stone walls around the door. The only one who didn't freak out was the Warforged, Kratos, and he tried to reason with the undead dude. Kratos eventually brought us all back when the fear effect wore off.

Basically, we came here to enlist this Ghost Lord bozo's help in fighting the Red Hand, and we'd do that by giving him his phylactery. Personally, I think doing this was not the smartest thing to do, but okay.



We eventually went back to this Ghost Lord when the fear effect wore off, and parleyed with him. Well, he sensed that we had the Eye of Neru, or as I like to call it, "The Evil Hope Diamond". He wanted that, as well as his phylactery, and beyond all belief the guys wanted to give it to him! :rolleyes:

"Hey, guys! Let's give Sauron the One Ring!" :emot_haw:

We gave him both items....and then the punk just vanished like a fart in the breeze, though not before fucking gloating how easy it was to get these items from us without a fight. Oh, and then after taking the items, he basically told us to get the fuck out. Yes, I'm paraphrasing....:pundit:

I'll tell ya something. I came dangerously close to Lightning Bolting that undead jerkbag. :mad0:

The only thing that stopped me from doing so was the fact that Hrothgar was a little beat up, running out of spells, and I realized I wasn't really prepared for this encounter. Mark my words though. When I reach 10th level, I'm gonna get the phylactery and the Eye of Neru back, and then put this undead bozo's head on a pig pole, though not before I take apart his entire lair brick by fucking brick.

No, I'm not bitter. :mad0:

Well, since no one could agree weather to give it back to him or not the dice did it for us.

Quote from: Mutt;316962Well, since no one could agree weather to give it back to him or not the dice did it for us.

Giving it to him was a mistake, but we'd been there for hours, and I was tired, so I didn't make a big deal about it. But as soon as we level up, I'm gonna bring an army there, and take that shit back. I don't even care about the Red Hand now. This undead dude's on my shitlist. :heh:

Well, we could really fuck up the DM and just go after this guy now if you want. Or come back to him after.

where's the challange ratings or xp Mr DM. I expect that only blumpy and Horatio will go up.

I say lets get a few levels higher. Just think Lamb, if that dire ghost lion drained 2 STR points, just think what the Licht could do or some other stuff we may not know of. Before we go bank... need immunites to draining and loss effects.

Such cocky arrogance! By all means, 'go after this guy now'. :-D

Here's your CRs:

Raising Elf Dude from dead: I'll grant CR8
Hobgoblin Seargents (Barracade): x2 CR3
Ogres (Barracade): x2 CR4
Regular Hobgoblins: x6 CR1
Greenspawn Razorfiends: x4 CR7
Big Spider: x1 CR4
Half-Fiend/Behir: x1 CR10
Ghost Dire Lions: x2 CR7
Ghost Brute Lions: x2 CR5
Hobgoblin Monks: x6 CR4
Grey Ooze: x1 CR7
Female Hobgoblin: x1 CR9 (You guys were so fucking lucky)
Convincing the GhostLord to stop helping the Red Hand: CR11

I think that's about it. I'll let imurrx plug this shit into his little spreadsheet to determine XP.

OK...  I guessed fairly close

Who goes up:
Horatio goes up one level to CR 9, 11737 until next level
Blumpy goes up two levels to a CR7, 4,719 until next level

The following do not go up:
Hrothgar, Reven, and Kratos need about 6,050 to go up to 10th level.

Ross's tonight @ 7?

Quote from: Mutt;317833Ross's tonight @ 7?

Sounds good to me.

so it's Monday at Mutt's again?

Or are just going to be pulling pud?

If you want I'll head up to Ross's tomorrow since I'm off this week. but Mike is on his own.

I am primary regional on-call bitch until Wednesday. So if we play, it will have to be my place on Monday.

You aren't working today, Mutt?

Yeah I worked tonight. I will head up to your place. If you want to do it tonight let me know. If you want to do it another night this week that would be better.

I'm game to do it another night this week, if it would be easier on you. How does Tuesday night sound to everyone?
